Nexus 7010 with F3 line modules. The modules are not "powering on" ?

[graham smart]

Hi,

Just tried installing a new Nexus 7010, With a couple of F3 line modules.

I cant seem to figure out how to get them to come online.

They flash with red LED and from a "show module" they show as powered down.

Its a fresh nexus install, What could I be missing here? Do I need to "provision them somehow?

Thanks

What version of NXOS do you have and what are the modules ?

Hi,

Its 6. something  ( Im not in front of it right now )

And im certain its these ones.

They are 48 port , 1/10G fiber. with "8 port groups.."

No idea if this helps at all.

Its a new install,

It contains the default VDC and an admin user. No other config has been done.

Okay, the "something" is important.

According to the release notes you need a minimum of 6.2(6) -

Hmm, Ok that "may" be it then. gah. I hate upgrading nexus's

Its the 10 slot version of the 7k im using, it doesnt seme to mention the 48 port module on that page, but yeah I guess it may be related.. ( I cant see why 3 modules would be faulty ) so I guess this is really the only common thing.

Cheers,

Edit - sorry I see what you are saying now.

Actually I'm not sure these modules are supported in your chassis.

According to the data sheet for your modules they are only supported in the 7700 chassis.

See table 2 in this link -
